e-bike, n. two-wheeled conveyance in Yorkshire
Show threadMaxwell (it/its)1d ago

@tryst I want to tell people: Think of an e-bike not as a slower motorcycle, but as a bicycle with a hybrid electric powertrain.

I like having a bike which is light enough to pick up off the ground, which I can ride with no electric assist, and which doesn't make me a menace to pedestrians on the shared-use paths I usually ride on.

@maxissakitsune Here the assistance is limited to max 20 km/h, so if you want to go faster than 20 km/h, you have to do that on leg power alone.

@tryst I thought it was 25km/h? 25km/h is often as fast as I go with no assist.

@tryst I think I misunderstood the intention of your original post. You're commenting that all the two-wheeled conveyances (i.e. bicycles) in Yorkshire are e-bikes now?

@maxissakitsune It's a joke about a regional dialect
